Crankshaft Grinding – FAQs
Crankshaft grinding restores worn or damaged crankshaft journals to perfectly round specifications. This ensures proper fit for new bearings, correct clearances, and smooth engine operation.
Grinding is needed if the crankshaft has wear, scoring, or damage from lubrication issues or run bearings. Symptoms can include low oil pressure, knocking, or vibration.
Blueprinting involves measuring and machining the crankshaft to exact specifications or custom tolerances, ensuring optimal balance, performance, and longevity of the engine.
Most crankshafts can be ground within safe tolerances, but excessively worn or damaged units may need replacement. We inspect and advise on the best course of action.
You get precise journal alignment, reduced friction, improved engine efficiency, and longer-lasting engine components. Proper grinding is essential for both everyday and high-performance engines.
